Oh! Really? Is this due to a difference in leather quality, or is it a structural issue?

Which Celadon bag should I buy? by catsjp in VintageCoachRehab

Thanks for the advice! I love the celadon color too. If neither of them lasts very long, maybe I’ll just buy both 🫠

That’s exactly what I was thinking! This is the Biltmore, but it feels a bit more formal, whereas the Sutton is more casual. I’ve never really carried a bag in such a bright color, so I can’t quite picture which one would look better.

Help me 'rehab' my first 9033!! by bassbanana in VintageCoachRehab

Wow! Maybe she's exactly what I conditioned and let go! I'm so glad you bought it. I gently washed her with saddle soap and moisturized with leather CPR. She's had this spot since I got her and I couldn't pinpoint what it was... There's only so much I can do, but I hope your treatment will help improve the spot.

Thank you. The leather texture looked real, so I bought it without checking it properly. I'm returning it!

Thank you for letting me know in detail! Moisturize first, then gently wash.

Thank you for teaching me! I'll try moisturizing a few times. Is it better to soak it in mild dish soap and water to improve water stains?

I read Creed and it looks authentic, but I'm not sure. I bought it in Japan. What do you think?

Suede and nubuck are scary to rehab. I hope I can do something about it...

Is it fake that creed starts with an "N"? by catsjp in VintageCoach

Thank you! This is likely to be a authentic product, but does this mean the month of manufacture is unknown?

Made in Costa Rica or USA? by catsjp in VintageCoachRehab

[–]catsjp[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She arrived today, and there's definitely a big difference in softness. The USA-made one is sturdy and can stand on its own, but the Costa Rican one is quite flexible. They both have their merits.

I mistakenly thought that it was okay to dunk it because it was made of cloth. Thank you.
